Thailand To Crack Down on Substandard Flying Schools
The Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand plans to start an audit of the country’s 10 flying academies in April.

An increasing rate of unemployment among Thai pilots due to lack of aviation knowledge has prompted the Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand (CAAT) to embark on an audit of flying schools across the country over the next six months. Expected to start in mid-April, the country’s first such audit would aim to weed out poorly performing institutions, according to a senior official at CAAT in Bangkok, Supachai Boonrak.
